I stopped at some truck stop in the panhandle of Nebraska for a bite to eat.<BR/><BR/>The place was packed and about 40 minutes into my stay, a bunch of older guys came over to my table and asked me if that was my car out there with Colorado tags on.<BR/><BR/>I replied, "yes"... and one of the guys started off by saying, "well, let me tell you about the Huskers this year." This was the summer after the season when NU lost their last two games by 99 points and lost to CU. I guess the CU/NU game is a pretty big deal in this part of the country.<BR/><BR/>So these fellas came over to my table just to talk about college ball. It was pretty cool. They were definitely proud of the Huskers and I guess just wanted to chat with a stranger -- especially one who may be affiliated with "that other team."<BR/><BR/>At no time was an f-bomb or a beer bottle lobbed my way. My car wasn't vandalized, I wasn't told to avoid certian parts of town, and nobody urinated on me nor my property.<BR/><BR/>I do feel for Nebraskans though... NU football is the only sports outlet that entire state has.MGoBlue93http://www.blogger.com/profile/11879733340609666894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1163475430613466872006-11-13T22:37:00.000-05:002006-11-13T22:37:00.000-05:00Beaker: Once again you are my favorite muppet.BTW,...Beaker: Once again you are my favorite muppet.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I went the Nebraska v.

FSU may well have been the best team that season, yet their last regular season game took place in Gainesville--death sentence from '94-'99. One of the two greatest games ever played at the Swamp. Wadsworth and Cowart were outdone by Taylor and Green, sensational game. It is fine for people to question the pass interference call against MIA in OT, but the BLOWN holding call, on OSU's last third down of regulation was terrible. OSU deserved a first down, and MIA deserved the ball on their own ten with a minute to play, trailing 17-14.<BR/><BR/>Still, that '97 NEB team ran for 200 yards in a single QUARTER against a one-loss SEC champion, UM would not have slowed them down enough, I'll say '97 NEB by ten.OSU22UM6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1163433745460167972006-11-13T11:02:00.000-05:002006-11-13T11:02:00.000-05:00Really, anon?Which unranked team did Michigan have...Really, anon?<BR/><BR/>Which unranked team did Michigan have to beat -- in overtime -- by cheating?Jeremynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1163430539540944572006-11-13T10:08:00.000-05:002006-11-13T10:08:00.000-05:00I didn't want us to be ranked #1 leading up to thi...I didn't want us to be ranked #1 leading up to this week. I want there to be pressure on the team to prove that it is #1 by knocking off Ohio State.<BR/><BR/>In my own ranking (I'm a nerd, but everyone procrastinates), I would have Wake Forest in the top 10. They beat BC and did the amazing in Tallahassee, even if FSU is pretty bad this year. But beating them 30-0 at FSU is no easy feat. Besides, WF has played more difficult opponents than WVU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1163426578678552562006-11-13T09:02:00.000-05:002006-11-13T09:02:00.000-05:00tressel gave that first place vote to michigantressel gave that first place vote to michiganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1163425586239935272006-11-13T08:46:00.000-05:002006-11-13T08:46:00.000-05:00Do you think the lone Coaches poll vote came from ...Do you think the lone Coaches poll vote came from IU's coach?
